Tyson also is benefitting from an increased demand for U.S. exports of chicken, pork and beef, according to Smith. More export volume means less protein is available in the domestic market, which typically is supportive of price. "Our focus is to deliver sustainable earnings through execution, investing in our business, a competitive cost structure, innovation, a strong balance sheet and a broad base of customers and distribution channels," said Smith. "Because we're focused on the right things, I feel good about where we'll be for the second quarter and for the fiscal year."
